1) Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation
Everyone gets discouraged and needs the reassurance from someone else who has “been through it” - someone who can show you it’s possible to keep moving
forward. Christopher Reeve’s story of perseverance has inspired many to not
give up on their own stories. We especially love the incredible advice,
encouragement and heart that breathes out of the blog of this incredible
organization.
2) Abilities Expo
Having a community is important for anyone, but having the type of people around you that understand your unique hobbies, personality, challenges, or passions can literally turn your life around.
Abilities Expo creates an amazing
atmosphere for those in common locations with common experiences to get together,
meet, and get exposed to some amazing resources.
And the Los Angeles Expo is
coming up soon!
3) Art Shop Therapy
Art has always had a mysterious power- as though it unlocks
a hidden door inside us and releases the inner treasures of our hearts and
minds in a way the world can experience them with us.
Art Shop Therapy is a
great resource to engage this inner world, and offers therapeutic art lessons
for children and adults with disabilities.
4) The Mighty
The biggest lie we can start to believe in our lives is that
we’re facing things alone, but the amazing website The Mighty is here to dissolve
that lie:
“Billions of people are facing serious health conditions” they say “— including many of us at The Mighty.
It’s so easy to feel like we are facing these challenges alone. The truth is,
we are all facing disability, disease and mental illness together.”
Check out
the wealth of articles and input written by people just like you.
5) Pinterest
Believe it or not, Pinterest is one of our favorite places
on the web!
Whether you’re a parent who’s looking for fresh ideas for how to play with your child, or someone who needs more information on applying for
disability benefits, this online “bulletin board” has ideas, tips, images, and
advice from people all over the world who have had the same questions and are just one step ahead of you.
